Effects of electric treatments and wing restraints on the rate of post-mortem biochemical changes and objective texture of broiler Pectoralis major muscles deboned after chilling.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The study was conducted to determine the effects of electric current and wing restraints on the rate of post-mortem biochemical changes and objective texture of broiler Pectoralis major muscles deboned after chilling. Electric treatments of stun, stun and stimulate, and electrocution were administered to a total of 12 birds in each of six replications of the study. Stunning and stimulating treatments resulted in significantly higher ratio of adenine to inosine nucleotides and lower pH values compared with the electrocution treatment.
